Knowing that Patti and I like lighthouses almost as much as seashells, Thuy
persisted in weaving through one-car dirt lanes and asking directions until we
actually got to the lighthouse.
I found much more than the lighthouse here. I'd said that I wanted to
stand at a place that I knew we took counter battery,
look out from the perspective of the defenders,
and see what was in that place and in my heart. What I found was
simple affection and empathy for a cheerful, resilient, and proudly
independent people.
